it doesn't matter whether it is settei or layout 
genga, as long as you like it. ^_^

fyi, genga with the crop lines shown are called 
layout genga. settei are typically what you 
described as several "views" of a single 
character.

I personally am turned off by copies, but when it 
comes to the real thing, you'll find that season 
2 of mahoromatic has more expensive genga than 
season 1. I once bought a nice layout sheet of 
minawa for over $100. ^^;

anyway, email me if you'd like to discuss this 
more, I know we've talked about mahoro in the 
past.
